CURRENT MISSION

My mission now is to enjoy life and to... RELAX.

ABOUT ME

I'm a sympathetic girl (well I think so)half Belgian-half Italian. I love traveling, that's why I've worked for 2,5 years as a corporate travel manager. ( This means I organised travels, meetings and conferences for companies and travelled along with the group). I had a lot of fun, but I took a break to realize my old dream : Visit Australia! Yihaah! Oh Man! That was crazy! I luuuuuved it!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a personal philosophy... What I usually tend to say is : 'We only live once!' So, whenever I feel afraid or anxious of doing something, I repeat this to myself and it helps me to do things, to go ahead... Mmmh, maybe I do have a personal philosophy...I also like to say : 'If a smurf can do it, I can do it', but then it makes no sense...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering my cosy little coach to the adventurous traveller that dared arrive in Brussels. (You see, I'm in love with my city and I don't mind showing it to anyone who's interested. This city has secrets you wouldn't imagine...)

(Guys, I receive LOTS of requests, I'm sorry if I can't reply to everyone, I'm quite busy with my job, but whenever I can, I will reply and try to host you!!! thanks for your understanding!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just had my first surfer experience in June 2010! Why did I wait that long!? I normally host and/or go for coffees (or beers ;-))

Interests

I'm very curious, so everything will have my attention at least once.
I'm also mad about food and drinks, I've got to taste them all!!!!

• dining
• beer
• coach
• drinking
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

I adore Old Movies and Music Comedies. I know it sounds kitchy, but I think it's fun. (I tried following some tap dance classes, but I resembled more to a dancing hyppo than Gene Kelly). Next to that I enjoy a good thriller or romantic books/movies...
I like all kind of music, my preferences go to pop music and American Jazz, but really I'm curious to discover any kind of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 3 month-trip to Australia! (www.crocodilemelissa.blogspot.com) Jumping out of a plain while having my nose blocked due to the flu. A french kiss with a kangaroo.
